Newlyweds Christina Hendricks and her husband of five months, Geoffrey Arend, talked to People magazine recently about marriage and their new life together. Among a few cutesy things the couple said, Arend admitted that: "Having the ring on my finger it makes me realize this is the person I've chosen for…

The future of pornography is here, and it's more graphic than ever before. Blame (or thank, depending on how you feel about the genre), the success of Hollywood mega hits like "Avatar" and "Alice In Wonderland" for what some predict will take porn to the next level, literally. French director Tom Sridix ha…

Buckle your seat belts: Just when we’re finally building up defenses against the online sample sale phenomenon (and their daily doses of discounted designer duds), a slew of new sales sites are tempting us with some seriously sweet travel deals. Employing the same time-is-of-the-essence drill used by Gilt.com et al, these travel sites offer their…

Detectives found an array of skin-whitening creams and medications in Michael Jackson's home, according to recently unsealed search warrants. A cupboard in Michael's bedroom contained 19 tubes of hydroquinone and 18 tubes of Benoquin. It is suspected that Michael used the skin-whitening creams to remove the pigment from the patches of his skin that…

Behold, Lindsay Lohan's feet after a night on the town. Let's play a guessing game! What's that white crap all over LiLo's feet? Boatloads of cocaine, obviously. Baby powder. Powdered sugar. Pixie dust. Flour. Bitch was baking! See the full photo at PopEater. I don't know the answer, obviously, but isn't it strange?

Combine three of my passions -- graphic novels, theater, and teenagers -- and you’ve pretty much got my artistic dream come true. Last night, I saw the play The Diary of a Teenage Girl, adapted by Marielle Heller from a graphic novel with the same title by Phoebe Gloeckner. The book uses diary…

Sometimes we feel like Us Weekly‘s “The Fashion Police” and other similar style critics can be a tad harsh. Also, they tend to have these really boring, conservative styles and we have to wonder what their real fashion credentials are. (Case in point: US Weekly‘s “Top Cops” include random comedian Stefanie Novik and Chet Canno…

Last night, Kim Kardashian tweeted she was "big pimpin'" on a girls' night out with her pals. Whether she was actually dancing to "Big Pimpin'" or just using slang that implies she was spritzing champagne all over strippers' butts, it doesn't matter. Why not? Because Demi Moore, aka Gloria Steinem, called Kim…

As a young girl—ovaries yet to ripen and hymen still in intact—reading Judy Blume books were like porn for me … educational porn. My introduction to sex ed (and Judy Blume) started out innocently enough with menstrual cycles and Kotex pads in the seminal Are You There God It's Me Margaret. From there, I read…

We don't know why but objects that are "O" shaped always seem to catch our attention. It can be interpreted as having something to do with the circular flow of life or, hell, it just plain reminds us of a doughnut. Either way, both theories feed our minds and bodies with energy and renewal, and…

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to depilating, it's not! Fascinatingly, debates over body hair have been some of the most impassioned on The Frisky, from the girl who didn't want to shave her legs to Mo'Nique's hirsute parade down the red carpet. So, if you're left undecided over…

Over at Boing Boing, Xeni posted this wild new video from Erykah Badu, "Window Seat." The video was shot without a permit in one take on the streets of downtown Dallas, Texas, and is all the more impressive for what the queen of Baduizm does in it. To wit, she takes off…

If the new reality show "Married By 30" makes women look desperate to get married, Pepsi Max's "asteroid" commercial makes men look like sad little slaves to their own d**ks. This commercial (posted on YouTube in early February) shows a group of guy friends who fake a newscaster's alert about an asteroid hitting…

File this under terrifying things that can happen to you in NYC. Word on the traumatized streets is that "Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi recently filmed a commercial for Sunlove spray tanner. While that is scary enough, the shoot involved people in the highly trafficked area of Union Square getting "snooked." Snooki explains,…

Pamela Anderson is one of our fave contestants on this season of “Dancing With the Stars.” Why? Of course the world’s most downloaded woman brings an unprecedented trashiness to the stage that makes us giddy, but what really tugs at our heartstrings is her inspiration for competing. Unlike the other contestants, she’s not doing…

Simply Irresistible

Over the years, we've poked fun at a lot of "based on a true story" movies that turned out to be bullshit. But then we thought that maybe we should stop giving Hollywood shit for embellishing history a bit if it lets them tell a slightly better story. So instead, we decided to give Hollywood…

As you slog your way through the myriad not-yet-April Fools' Day pranks that plague this nation, revel in this: no one has ever pranked someone better than Michael Jackson pranked Russell Crowe, and he did it for years. In an interview with The Guardian, Crowe revealed that despite having never met Jackson,…
